Families are important to all Canadians, regardless of where they were born. And regardless of their background, all Canadians consider parents and grandparents an important part of their family.
Parents and grandparents are an important resource for many families. They provide emotional and social support, and often provide unpaid childcare support.
A super visa lets you visit your children or grandchildren for up to 5 years at a time. It’s a visa that provides multiple entries for a period up to 10 years. When you enter Canada, a border services officer will confirm how long you can stay.
The Super Visa is only applicable for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
You need to meet the following requirements to apply for a Super Visa:
o Visiting a permanent resident or Canadian citizen as their parent or grandparent
o Have an invitation letter signed by and from your child or grandchild that lists the following
o Assurance of financial support for the duration of your stay
o The number of people living in the house
o Proof of Canadian citizenship or permanent resident document
o Medical insurance valid for up to 1 year with a minimum coverage of $100,000 and proof that it is paid
Note: The Super Visa is applied from outside of Canada. The child or grandchild must provide proof that minimum necessary income requirements are met.
